Nace headed for seat on Catasauqua Area School board

Christine Nace, who has been trying to gain a seat on the Catasauqua Area School Board, apparently got her wish.

There are four open seats for four-year terms on the board. Nace was one of three candidates who cross-filed and won.

She also will square off against incumbent Duane Dietrich for a two-year term on the board. Both had cross-filed with Nace winning the Democratic nomination and Dietrich the Republican.

Dietrich had bested Nace last year when directors had to fill a vacancy. The vote was 5-3. Both had previously sought election, and lost.

The other winners on the Republican ticket were incumbents Donald Panto and Penny Hahn. Panto, Hahn and incumbent Sally Reiss won Democratic nominations, meaning there will be three candidates on the Republican ballot and four on the Democratic ticket. .
